"Fargo" is a television series created by Noah Hawley that premiered in 2014 on the FX network. The show is loosely based on the Coen Brothers' 1996 film of the same name, but instead of directly adapting the story, it presents a new tale set in the same universe. Each season tells a different story with different characters, but all take place in and around the titular city of Fargo, North Dakota.

The first season of "Fargo" follows Lester Nygaard, a meek insurance salesman whose life is turned upside down when he crosses paths with the dangerous hitman Lorne Malvo. The second season is a prequel set in 1979 and explores the rivalry between two crime families in Fargo and the surrounding areas. The third season takes place in 2010 and centers on the sibling rivalry between two brothers, one a parole officer and the other a successful businessman.

The show has received critical acclaim for its writing, acting, and direction, with particular praise for the performances of Billy Bob Thornton, Kirsten Dunst, Ewan McGregor, and Carrie Coon. It has also been noted for its dark humor and offbeat storytelling, as well as its use of regional accents and settings to create a unique atmosphere. "Fargo" has been nominated for numerous awards, including 53 Emmy nominations, and has won several, including three Emmys for Outstanding Limited Series.
